How do you figure out your card number before it comes?

For an AU I do this all the time and can help. Is that what you mean?

You can change your choice of airline in January officially. Log into your account today and change it.

Once a year in January.
But I've had it changed it the past by calling in as needed.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this, but is there any way to transfer Amex points to a friend?
and if yes what's the fee etc?

I received a retention bonus a month or 2 ago for keeping my plat card open and now when I chat to downgrade  they said when they try it says I need to call the retention department. Is this something new? possibly you can't downgrade after getting a retention bonus

Nothing to do with retention bonus, you can't downgrade plats over chat anymore.

O ok I didn't know that thanks for that info,
but they will most likely see they gave me points to keep it open... they will most likely be hesitant to downgrade
